[QUOTE="ExTurbo, post: 13665352, member: 53275"] we'll find out dec 5th im sure, my guess is carry over motor/transmissions initially, then possibly for the 16 model year getting into specialty models. i doubt we'll see the turbo motor right away. I think its realistic to expect about 310 from the 2.3, it should be lighter and make more tq, not to mention have better mileage than the 3.7. That extra tq and gas mileage should be enough to convince buyers to spend an extra 995...also sort of follows the model of the 3.5 ecoboost vs the 5.0 in the F150. again just my best guess The 5.0, will most likely be paired with the same transmission options, i cant see designing a new transmission when this one will hold up fine under normal operation (sub 6700rpm) obviously the Auto works well and a paddle shifted trans is expensive and unlikely behind a ford v8. They could reliably bump the power in the 5.0 and keep it reliable, remember they most likely will have to redesign the exhaust manifolds and change the intake setup around. not to mention out doing the base 430+hp camaro would certainly draw some attention and set the bar a little higher. GT350, who knows...its not going to come right away, so theres too much time to speculate. id love to see a Tr6060 with an N/A 5.8 revving to 7K and making anywhere north of 550. if they keep it under 3500lbs there wont be many cars that could beat it around a road course in that price range. Z/28 should be the benchmark here, and even at 3600lbs theres a weight advantage. So all it needs is more than 500hp. a mach 1 could replace the missing boss and could see a forged version of the 5.0 (more limited production hence more expensive option) and see 450+ but i honestly dont see them adding another model to slot between the GT350 and the base GT. If they were to do it just to bring the name back, i doubt it would add power. My best guess is a "track pack" 1LE like option. Sky is the limit for the GT500 or monster freak high hp mustang, whatever they decide to call it. i would think the trinity motor has some life left in it, although a twin turbo factory V8 is likely considering the packaging of a smaller car...
